beamer Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 You can gussy the site up however you'd like. I just want to make sure that this place remains a haven for civil cigar discussion. The knowledge here is amazing. There is nowhere else on the web that I've found with this level of respect between all the members. I hope it stays that way. Thanks.
MIKA27 Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 1) A continuation of the Formula 1 thread which has been going the past 4 years. 2) How about a Cigar Aficionado style rating thread whereby either a visual numerical scoring system for 'a' particular cigar based on what the Czar team rate that cigar (Would also include on the same thread the video cigar review) and this would be subject to change in future based on current productions, year etc?
El Presidente Posted August 23, 2012 Author Posted August 23, 2012 Thanks for the thoughts It is always important to have an upgrade. When working with Forum software, if you don't upgrade every few years you are left behind in terms of support and future upgrades. The important thing for us is to keep the feel and content of the old site and while upgrading to the enhanced features of the new site. Jason Chipperfield our IT guru does a great Job. The upgrade is a 6 week process involving our graphics designers, Jason, and IP board developers. Much of what has been requested will be customised add ons. We will work through each at an upcoming workshop here and see what is viable. Keep the ideas coming. Nothing is ruled out. Cheers
aes8 Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 How about a Battlezone? I can't keep track of all the new screen names when FoH members go over to Wades and register under something different and then get called out. The enjoyment factor would be much greater if this could happen here
Bartolomeo Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 A better FOH store site w different items such as expanded tshirts, beer coozies, stickers, etc Store now is just one shirt and expensive coffee mugs....marketing FOH branded items will be a big hit I predict Other than that, keep on keeping on Bart

The enjoyment factor would be much greater if this could happen here I respectfully disagree to a certain point The BZ @ Wades is for knuckleheads who engage is bad behavior when it comes to selling/buying cigars 99% of the FOH members are good peeps that I would do transactions with any day, and the 1% bad seeds get weeded out very quickly here and thus why this forum is a pretty tight community that doesnt put up with any BS when it surfaces No point of creating a "negative" forum like a BZ here when its not necessary IMHO Again, I may be wrong here but just my opinion Bart
thecrowder Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 I really like reading the posts from Punch Joe (e.g., Like this one) and would love to see more like it!
andy Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Don't agree with the invitation only section that will create some sort of elite. Seems to me that goes against the whole ethos of the forum. Andy
Pilgrims Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 enhancement of the locker would be great to show purchase price and to be downloadable into Excel all good though generally
reliefdvm Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 I totally agree with a buy it button. I think registering ahead of time and providing a cc (basically creating an accout one time) would simplify things in the long run. While I love the personal touch that Diana provides, this would eliminate people claiming and not following through on purchases. It might also simplify things for those of us that go through afterwards trying to figure out what is still available.
amosnaim Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 few more ideas to consider: 1. current hot box codes. 2. FOH ratings of current production cigars 3. the flaovrs profile of current production/inventory at CZAR. This is something i would really like to see - for example, what kind of flavors today's RASS are giving, etc. cheers
Vcool Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 I think it'd be neat to have a virtual humidor so we can track what we own, ratings, codes etc etc... wishful thinking, but I've been looking for something like this for a while, best I can do is a excel chart it seems.
SuprHasan Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 How about a 24/7 *****-CAM @ HQ so we can see what you're up to at all hours of the day?
GotMuscle Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 How about a amazing buisness deal for me. So I can have more money for smokes. That would be great!! Lol. In all seriousness though I truly hope this community just stays as it is. I am a newer member around here and I just love it. Trustworthy people, to learn, grow, and smoke with. I like a lot of people have searched for a place like this. I am always up for moving forward you have too. I just hope it does not turn into a lot of hoopla and I start to lose my excitedness of being apart of this community. It truly is one of a kind. To all who make this possible thank you!! I look forward to the ride!! Cheers and god bless
PigFish Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 A peep cam at Tabacuba HQ. A red button on the screen that I could push anytime that I choose. The button would trigger a charge to the testicles of the "Masters of Cigar Destruction" AKA cigar executives at Tabacuba with a few thousand volts at the push of said button!!! Now that would be an improvement to the site!!! -The Pig

Worth looking into ,or at the very least a tasting data base of sorts ,that's quick and accessible ,that gives newer smokers and smokers that are unfamiliar with particular brands access to general profiles traits of each individual marque ,brand etc OZ
mazolaman Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 I generally like this site due to it's worldwide nature, and free speaking attitude. I think this is the core of the internet as a whole, and it is the only cigar forum I am a member of, as I find others can be too parochial. I would dislike a private members area, as this would lead to factions, and enhance the elitist attitude to cigars, which is something we all fight against with Tabacuba's business model of fat limited cigars. I would love more articles, and am a big fan of Jose's writing. Maybe this could also include some of the regular artworks from the likes of Smallclub. Articles could be wide ranging. All your suggestions are good ones for me. Maybe an examination of the classic cigars throughout history, using some of Trevors knowledge, and how they have changed in terms of blend etc...if they still exist! Maybe, as part of your worldwide formation of clubs, more emphasis could be put on the Global Cigar friendly Locations section, as many of us travel either through leisure or business, and it would be a good way for members to meet, and to broaden your own clubs. Maybe an affiliation with existing smoking bars around the world, a mutually beneficial tie up. This would also give you the opportunity for a worldwide jolly.......
celtmick1984 Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Generally, more integration of the buying experience for members and the forum experience. Dual-purposing the personalized account to also show items ordered, shipment status, OLH stock, etc., would also be a significant step to making FOH a one-stop destination for all habanos activity. I imagine rolling all that out could be challenging.
oliverchang514 Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 I'll 3rd the 24/7 cam on the deck so we can be voyeurs. Keep up those threads where you let us know what stock is good/poor. Those are awesome!
rusty Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 one small feature i wouldn't mind is when you hover your mouse over a thread title the first couple of lines of what the O.P. has typed are displayed so you can an idea of what the thread is about without actually entering. cheers
